[1/15, 7:09 PM] Woli Sports: We have two words DRAMA AND MINISTER…Who is a Minister?
[1/15, 7:09 PM] Woli Sports: A Minister is a person who has seen the light of Christ, come into it and through the help of the holy spirit reveals the mind of God to people through his knowledge of God.
[1/15, 7:10 PM] Woli Sports: A Minister is a child of God who has a relationship with God and through this leads men to the same relationship he has with God…
[1/15, 7:11 PM] Woli Sports: A man cannot give what he does not have. A Minister can only bless people with as much as of God he knows and walks in
[1/15, 7:13 PM] Woli Sports: Let’s move to Drama….
Drama is simply the imitation of character… Some people say in Literature that Drama is the mirror of life… Becoming a Character you are not to show or pass a particular message
[1/15, 7:15 PM] Woli Sports: Now that we have gotten the definition of drama and minister…
We can say a Drama Minister is a person who uses his God the instrument / gift of drama through the help of God to reveal the mind of God to people
[1/15, 7:19 PM] Woli Sports: So you can be a drama minister whose drama ministrations are teachings, some drama ministrations are evangelistic dramas, some are prophetic… And so on
[1/15, 7:21 PM] Woli Sports: Drama Ministry is becoming a Character you are not to show men the light…
[1/15, 7:23 PM] Woli Sports: 1 Cor 9:19-23
Apostle Paul kept on using the word ‘I BECAME ‘
[1/15, 7:24 PM] Woli Sports: So he became what he wasn’t so he could deliver his own message. He came to their levels so they can understand…
[1/15, 7:25 PM] Woli Sports: Jesus used the Parable so the disciples and multitude could understand what exactly he was saying…
[1/15, 7:27 PM] Woli Sports: We can term Prophet Hosea being commanded by God to marry a prostitute to pass a message to Israelite DRAMA😊
[1/15, 7:27 PM] Woli Sports: So many examples… We have…
[1/15, 7:28 PM] Woli Sports: So let’s go to The Qualities of a Drama Minister
[1/15, 7:29 PM] Woli Sports: Thank God for the Prostitute Book which is now a movie by our Daddy who is also the convener… Pls go and watch it if you haven’t…
[1/15, 7:30 PM] Woli Sports: There are certain qualities that a Drama Minister must possess…
[1/15, 7:32 PM] Woli Sports: 1. He must be born again… This is non negotiable… A drama minister must have experienced the new birthday of Christ. You cannot be a drama minister and say you still live the old life. He must turn away from sin, and confesse Jesus as Lord and personal saviour.
[1/15, 7:34 PM] Woli Sports: The number quality that differentiates a Drama Minister and a Secular actor is Christ.
[1/15, 7:35 PM] Woli Sports: A Secular actor is free to talk anyhow, behave anyhow, do whatever he likes. Infact, Secular actors do not practice what they teach… But a Drama Minister must know that this is ministry
[1/15, 7:37 PM] Woli Sports: If you have not given your life to Christ, you can’t minister to God’s people. You can’t give what you don’t have.
[1/15, 7:38 PM] Woli Sports: 2. A drama minister must live a holy life. Holiness is a great quality of a power filled drama minister.
[1/15, 7:40 PM] Woli Sports: A Minister must be holy. Heb 12:14. If a drama minister doesn’t live a holy life… It shows in the Ministration. That’s why we see drama ministrations without power.
[1/15, 7:41 PM] Woli Sports: A drama minister must understand that the ministry is unto God. God is interested in the life of the minister than the Ministration.
[1/15, 7:42 PM] Woli Sports: A drama minister must be careful because drama involves taking different kind of roles which at times are negative.
[1/15, 7:44 PM] Woli Sports: Everyone is as important as the other in drama Ministration… There is no minor… Everyone no matter how small the role is is very important…
[1/15, 7:44 PM] Woli Sports: May the Lord help us to live a holy and sanctified life for him in Jesus name
[1/15, 7:45 PM] Woli Sports: 3. A drama minister must be an addicted student of the word. Joshua 1:8, Deuteronomy 17:9, Ps 119:105
[1/15, 7:47 PM] Woli Sports: The word of God is very important. We can’t teach people about the word when we are not grounded in the word.
[1/15, 7:48 PM] Woli Sports: Every inspiration must have it’s basis in the word… If it has no foundation in the word na SCAM
[1/15, 7:49 PM] Woli Sports: A drama minister must love the word especially writers… The Lord will help us.
[1/15, 7:50 PM] Woli Sports: 4. Prayer and fasting is another quality drama ministers must possess. A drama minister must be addicted to prayer.
[1/15, 7:54 PM] Woli Sports: Infact, Drama Ministers are Prayer Warriors. You can’t see a drama minister that doesn’t love Prayer.
1. It builds your spiritual muscles.
2. Inspirations can gotten in the place of prayer and study of the word.
3. Instructions for the next move are gotten in the place of prayer.
4. We are at war against Darkness for exposing their secrets . Through Prayers we overcome
[1/15, 7:55 PM] Woli Sports: Also, a drama minister must be research minded.
[1/15, 7:56 PM] Woli Sports: Before writing or acting, we make research… How is it done.
[1/15, 7:57 PM] Woli Sports: If you are given a role, make research about the role… You can watch clips about the role… Ask questions from people in that field, go all out in making sure what you are doing is real to the glory of God.
[1/15, 7:58 PM] Woli Sports: Read books… 2 Tim 2:15…
[1/15, 7:59 PM] Woli Sports: If you are give the role of a nurse, go and research, herbalist, go and research, thug, go and research…
Don’t forget I BECOME so that I CAN pass the MESSAGE
[1/15, 8:01 PM] Woli Sports: A drama minister must allow the a holy spirit take over all of his life. The fruit of the spirit must be at work at all times. The world is watching you. We cannot live without the guidance and help of the holy spirit…
[1/15, 8:02 PM] Woli Sports: I forgot to add,go to programs, retreats, attend courses… All for knowledge to the glory of God
[1/15, 8:03 PM] Woli Sports: Pls many people come to Drama Ministry for the FAME and POPULARITY. Drama Ministry is not for fame, popularity or money. If that’s your motive, you better leave or go to secular
[1/15, 8:05 PM] Woli Sports: This is Ministry unto God. I have seen many people leave or divert because the priority at first was not God, was not souls, was not Jesus being manifest or magnified. It was self… Check yourself now
[1/15, 8:05 PM] Woli Sports: Hope it’s not for money,hope it’s not for fame, so my family will see me on screen or stage. Make sure it is Passion to make God happy.
[1/15, 8:07 PM] Woli Sports: Also be fore I end the class tonight, you can be a drama minister because you have the gift of acting or because you love drama/passion for it. In whatever way, make sure the end point is that all glory returns back to God
[1/15, 8:09 PM] Woli Sports: You don’t have to act on stage or screen to be a drama minister, you can be a stage manager, costume and props, writer, director, Cinematographer,Continuity, Make up, Light man, Sound man etc
[1/15, 8:10 PM] Woli Sports: Learn the skill well and let God be glorified….
[1/15, 8:11 PM] Woli Sports: Can we pray in the next few minutes and ask God for His help to do His work as a child who loves his father’s work.
[1/15, 8:11 PM] Woli Sports: If God doesn’t help a man, he labours in vain..
[1/15, 8:12 PM] Woli Sports: Can we pray for the grace never to disappoint Him.
[1/15, 8:12 PM] Woli Sports: That I will never labour like a fool Lord.
[1/15, 8:12 PM] Woli Sports: Lord help me and teach me your ways…
[1/15, 8:13 PM] Woli Sports: Let’s rededicate our lives to Him, take over my life Lord and let it be for your use and will alone.
[1/15, 8:13 PM] Woli Sports: May I never be a cast away Lord.
[1/15, 8:13 PM] Woli Sports: Thank you Jesus…
[1/15, 8:14 PM] Woli Sports: In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
